A 56-year-old woman presented with acute ischaemic stroke with NIHSS 13. She had right eye ptosis and miosis. She and her husband were not sure if her facial features were different than usual. With her consent, we compared her face with her pictures on Facebook. In the absence of any ptosis or miosis in her pictures, she was diagnosed with acute Horner syndrome. Facebook may be a useful tool for the neurologists to define the timing of facial neurological signs.

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is an inflammatory vasculitis affecting large and medium-sized arteries, leading to complications such as arterial dissection, blindness, and stroke. Rarely, GCA presents with Horner's syndrome due to sympathetic neuron involvement from arterial inflammation. This case report discusses an 82-year-old female with hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and arthritis who presented with a 24 h history of right eye ptosis, blurred vision, dizziness, and aching eye pain.

Background: Horner's syndrome is a rare complication of cardiovascular surgery. A bone fragment and hematoma due to rib fracture after cardiac surgery may cause injury to the brachial nerve plexus and sympathetic nerve trunk, leading to neurologic disorders and Horner's syndrome. However, few reports have revealed the etiology of Horner's syndrome after cardiovascular surgery based on imaging.

Horner syndrome is a clinical triad of ptosis, miosis, and anhidrosis, which commonly prompts urgent neuroimaging. The differential diagnosis of new-onset Horner syndrome in children includes neurological emergencies. We report here a case of a 13-month-old male infant with acute-onset Horner syndrome, subsequently found to have a large mediastinal lymphatic malformation compressing the trachea and neck vasculature.

Article Synopsis
- Lateral medullary syndrome (LMS) typically arises from issues with the vertebral artery or posterior inferior cerebellar artery, with strokes being the leading cause.
- Chest physiotherapy was implemented for a patient with LMS to enhance bronchial hygiene and overall condition, with a structured four-week program producing significant improvements.
- The patient's physical examination indicated various neurological symptoms, but after receiving adequate conservative treatment, he was discharged with minimal disabilities.
